Schematic diagram of the light trap design.
Light trapped population of Scirpophaga innotata (a), Sesamia inferens (b), Scirpophaga incertulas (c), Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (d), Sogatella furcifera (e) and Nilaparvata lugens (f) during the year 2019-22. The graphs also depict the percent increase (↑) and decrease (↓) in trapped insect population from the previous year.
